One year on – time to celebrate
It seems hard to believe it is almost one year since we first opened our doors at Oxheys Mill Studios. We opened our very first exhibition and held an open day on 11th August 2011 but the first visitors actually came during the last weekend of July – these were the artists who responded to […]

Satellite Navigation – the journey
If you were continually in transit, what would you take with you? Would it be your beloved antique violin or the sleeping bags, an expensive video camera or a rucksack of food, your jewellery box or the first aid kit? Join artist Susan Walsh for the journey through Preston from Latham Street to Oxheys Mill on Stanhope Street […]
